Her work centers on thinking outside the box constructed by societal -isms and practicing a radical imagination.

She began her journey as an organizer in the New York City ultimate frisbee community -- creating policies that advocate for trans, non-binary, and intersex athletes, creation of an access-oriented youth summer camp, hosting equity trainings for the larger community. Through Both/And, her current focus has been on educating others on non-colonial youth outreach, with a budding expansion rooted in community care and Transformative Justice principles. Her areas of interest and expertise consists of analyzing and dismantling carceral and colonial logic, building organizational capacity to center community and relationships, and strategizing at the interpersonal level to affect the oppressive institutional and structural systems in place.
